semilogy

---

Semilog plot (y-axis has log scale).

---

Syntax

---

semilogy(X, Y)

semilogy(X, Y, LineSpec)

semilogy(Y)

semilogy(Y, LineSpec)

semilogy(ax, ...)

semilogy(..., propertyName, propertyValue)

go = semilogy(...)

Input argument

---

X

Linear scale coordinates: scalar, vector or matrix.

Y

Log scale coordinates: scalar, vector or matrix.

LineSpec

Line style, marker, and/or color: character vector or scalar string.

ax

a scalar graphics object value: parent container, specified as a axes.

propertyName

a scalar string or row vector character. see help of 'line' for property list.

propertyValue

a value.

Output argument

---

go

a graphics object: line type.

Description

---

semilogy(X, Y) plots data using a base 10 logarithmic scale for the y-axis and a normal (linear) scale for the x-axis.

semilogy has the exact same syntax as the plot command.

Examples

---

f = figure();
x = 1:100;
y1 = x.^2;
y2 = x.^3;
semilogy(x,y1,'--',x,y2)
legend('x^2','x^3','Location','northwest')

f = figure();
y = [ 0.1    1     10
      0.2    2     20
      1.0    10    100
      10     100   1000
      1000   10000 100000];
